Go Dig My Grave Lyrics by Lankum

False Lankum

2023

[Verse 1]
Go dig my grave
Both wide and deep
Place a marble stone
At my head and feet
And on my breast
A snow white dove
To tell this world
That I died for love
[Chorus]
Oh lordy Lord
Oh lordy me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh lordy me
[Verse 2]
She went upstairs
For to make her bed
And not one word
To her mother said
Her mother she
Went upstairs, too
Saying, "Daughter, oh daughter
What troubles you?"
"Oh, mama dear
I cannot tell
That railroad boy
That I loved so well
He courted me
My life away
And now with me
He will not stay"
[Chorus]
Oh lordy Lord
Oh lordy me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh lordy me
[Verse 3]
Her father he
Came home from work
Saying, "Where's my daughter?
She seemed so hurt"
He went upstairs
For to give her hope
And he found her hanging
By a rope
[Chorus]
Oh lordy Lord
Oh lordy me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh lordy me
[Verse 4]
He got his knife
For to cut her down
And in her bosom
These words he found
Go dig my grave
Both wide and deep
Place a marble stone
At my head and feet
And on my breast
A snow white dove
To tell this world
That I died for love
[Chorus]
Oh lordy Lord
Oh lordy me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh lordy me
